We referred some days ago to the new
Board of Promotion appointed to eX-

the curious fact that thirteen out of the
fourteen were Republicans.
The Alexandria Gazdte is lost in admi-
ration Of the sublimated policy Of mug
wumpery applied to keeping Republicans
in Office and examining Democrats before

Number l3 is the proyerbally unlucky

AN EXAMPLE.

The American Economic Association
have lately published historical sketch
Of the Finances of Pennsylvania. The
following extracts are interesting in view
Of the heated discussion that is going on
as to the finances Of Virginia:
In 1910 the tax on bank dividends, col
lateral inheritances, wrils and certain Of
ficers, were the only source Of revenue
besides licenses which were contributed
by the people The per capita expendi-
ture in this year was four dollars and
twenty-five cents, and the amount Of taxes
paid averaged twenty-four cents for each
individual The act Of June nth, 1910,
has been sufficiently mentioned. In 1913.
when the State had been defaulting for
more than year, the population was
about ,724,0 the valuation Of taxable
property, under the laws taxing personal
property, $il1 ,343, 40; the tax assessed
1865 70s.4O two dollars and seyenty-six
cents to each taxable, ffty-six cents 10
each inhabitanO the amount collected,
Sj53,9113s. In 1914 Judge Curtis esti-
mated the value Of annual products Of the
State at the sum of S2OO,OOO,OOO
In 1912 the State deiaulled in the pay
ment of interest oA the debt, which in
round numbers was 3GOOOOOO
In lS43 the Rev Sidney Smiths
famous letter TO Congress was pub
published This letter produced great
sensation. The sensitiyeness Of the
American people was keenly touched by
Sidney Smiths incisiye pen. The press
led in abusing the author an airoi jaunty
bravado was assumed.
The year Of 1914 witnessed the intro
duction of radical and thorough-going
measures Of financial reform. 1t was en-
acted that the rioe amount of revenue
20 I've raised under the provisions of this
act AouH BE- urecoc1jy appropriated to
the payment of the interest on the pajl,c
d,Jt, and said appropriation shall not be
withdrawn or repealed 10y any general
words or repeating clauses in any appro-
priation bill or other acts The restora-
tive effects of the act were not felt until
the following year The taxpayers re-
sponded nobly Some counties went so
far as to return their quota before it was
due
In 1s4j the debt Of the state was in
round numbers $41,OOOO0O 81 453.353
being for accrued interest, and 100000
interest on this interest On this amount
the payment Of interest was resumed. and
has not since been interrupted by De
cember I, 1856, the debt had been reduced
to about 81, 100000
The only discussion was concerning
the rate of interest ON the accommodating
interest which was somewhat over our
accumulating past due coupons.
The Pu6lc Layer in 1915 published an
article from which it appears that the
population of Pennsylvania was only
about 100000, and when we calculate
its exports and its imports we can see the
results Of grand material development
that could not have been carried ont but
for the energies Of the average American
Now The plain question is, how shall
we rate Virginia better than Malone and
his Democratic imitators get out her TO-
sources

THINK OF THIS.

Every man in the state of Virginia,
mechanic and merchant, laborer or
clerk, peddler OF capitalist ought to see
that so long as our state is kept back be
hind the times by the Regulators so long
everybody must suffer. If we settle the
debt we establish our lost reputation and
capital flows in at once to establish fac
tories, open the mines, build the rail-
roads. What has the employed man TO
gain This: If there is one factory, one
mine. one store, and one railroad, his
wages are one dollar; but if there areten
or twenty of each there is competition
for labor and the wages 20 up.
